UNITED STATES PATENT ROBERT FINKELSTEIN, OF BROOKLY H, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR 'I O HEESCHBERG 6:

OFFICE.

GOHPANY, OF N YOPK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK Apyllcatfon filed April 2, 1925. Serial No. 20,027.

To all whomit may concern:

-Be itknown that I, Ronss'r FINKELSTEIN, a citizen of the United States, 'residin at Brooklyn, in therounty of Kings and -tate of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Hats, of which the following is a specification.

My resent invention relates to hats, particularly of a type adapted for children, in which portions of the hat will extend down over atleast a portion of the ears of the wearer and, at thesame time, will fitythe head of the. wearer without pressure on the ears.

My invention will be best understood from the annexed drawing and the following descri tion of an illustrative embodiment of my invention, in which Fig; 1 is a side view of an illustrative embodiment and Fig. 2- is a cross-section of Fig. 1 looking from the right of Fig. 1.

Like reference characters parts throughout the drawing.

In the drawings, the crown 10 is made up of sections with their edges sewed to ether in the usual manner, but instead of the ower edge of the crown being horizontal when the crown is ositioned as shown in the drawing, this ower edge is higher at the sides of the crown than at the front and back. That is to say, there is a cut-oil or recess at 101 just above the position of the ears of the wearer so that the lower edge of the crown is higher at that or the back 103.

The list is usually rovided with a sweat band 17 which will e shaped to conform to the lower edge of the crown, so that it also will have a ortion above the ears of the weaierhigher t an at the front and back of the hat. Preferably the lower edge of the sweat band will substantially parallel the lower ed e of the crown.

The hat Illustrated is provided with a brim 11 which extends below the lower edges of the crown and, in the arrangement shown in the drawin this brim is made up of a piece of material folded at 14 to provide the two layers 12 and 13 and with a filling piece 16 between the two layers, if desired. The edges of this folded iece are turned inwardly and downward y against the sides of the lower part of the crown 10 and sewed thereto by a line of stitches which preferably extend horizontally around the hat at s indicate like point than at the front 102 point above the hi hest part of the recess 101. Preferably, a so. I make the brim 11 so that its lowermost edge at the sides of the hat is farther from the top of the crown than is such lower edge at the fmnt and back of the hat.

Preferably I make. the hat as follows:'

The crown is first made in'the usual manner with its lower edge horizontal. Then the brim 11 with its lower art turned up, is sewed to the crown by the line of stitches 15. 'lhenthe operator cuts out the recess 101, the line of stitches 15 having been located so that this .could be done without interferinwith the stitching. Then thera-w edges 0 thc crown and brim where they are 'oined, may be covered by any appropriate index and the sweat band 17 placedin the hat.

It will be noted that inthe hat as described,-the hat will fit around the head of the wearer but without pressin against the ears of the wearer because of t e recess 101 provided for that purpose. The brim 11, in the form illustrated, extends down over the ears of the wearer but without pressing them and the ears are thus covered while at the same time, the-hat fits the wearer s 'head erfe'ctly and without pressureon the ears.

y extending the midle portion of the brim lower than at the front and back, as shown,

a further advantage is obtained in that the ears of the wearer are covered more comletely without extending the brim unduly h low the crown at the'front and back of the at. V It will be understood that the arrangement which I have shown is merely illustrative and that the embodiment of my invention may be widely varied. Thus while I have shown the brim of the particular shape, it will be understood that tlii sha is not essential. It may, for inslaice, E: made circular in cross-section or any other desired shape.

In the -appended claims, I have used the terms horizontal and vertical in 'a relative sense only and as terms to describe my improved hat when it is held in the ordinary position of wear or in the position shown in the a pended drawings.
